The shrine stands on a hill near the small town of Manoppello and is run by the Capuchins. According to a local tradition written down in the 17th century, the veil bearing the face reached Manoppello at the beginning of the 16th century. Today it is displayed above the high altar in a transparent reliquary.
Pilgrims come to contemplate the face of Christ. Some researchers identify the veil with the veil of Veronica, but the Church has not made an official statement on its origin. In 2006 Pope Benedict XVI visited the shrine, which increased interest in the place.
Manoppello lies in the province of Pescara, and the nearest larger city is Pescara. Before travelling, it is worth checking the current schedule of services on the shrine's website.
